April 2nd, 2012, 3:50PM — It’s been an eventful weekend in London with the grand opening of the Harry Potter Studio Tour at Warner Bros. Leavesden Studios. As we reported earlier, both Rupert GrintandIce Cream Man were present at the press conference, the red carpet and the studio tour itself. We’ve brought you pictures and interviews from the red carpet – and now it’s time for the exclusive Ice Cream Man review from the Harry Potter Studio Tour. You can read a small snippet from it here:

After almost growing up with Harry Potter, reading the books a dozen times and watching the movies what feels like a thousand times, it is hard to describe what kind of a feeling it is finally to be on the Harry Potter Studio Tour. And even though this word might be used a little too often these days there is no other one that can describe it in a better way. It is “magical”!

March 29th, 2012, 10:29AM– At this very moment, Rupert Grint and our Ice Cream Man staff is present at the press conference before the grand opening of the Harry Potter Studio Tour at Leavesden. Our staff will do their very best to keep you all updated throughout the exciting events of this grand opening.

Our staff has just sent a quote from Rupert stating how he feels about being on the tour for the first time:

It was quite moving, because it is such a special place. I grew up here, went to school. It is Great that people will get the same excitment as we had.

Another brilliant quote from a laughing Rupert answering the question: “What would you like to show your future kids on the tour?”

Just walking on set, being here… The brooms are fun… Tom and I took a ride yesterday.

The grand opening itself is on Saturday, which will include a red carpet event. Warner Brothers is offering the opportunity to watch all the action live through their website – you can follow the exciting events as they happen right here. They will be streaming live from 3PM UK time.

Warner Brothers describes the studio tour as a “behind-the-scenes walking tour which immerses guests into the world of film-making, featuring authentic sets, costumes and props, created at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. The Studio Tour will initially focus on the Harry Potter film series, which has made the Studios its home for over 10 years. This is the ultimate chance to walk around and experience the world of Harry Potter and the place Rupert Grint has called home for over 10 years as Ron Weasley.

March 3rd, 2012, 11:39pm–In a fun interview with The Daily MailRupert Grint and his brother James Grint talk candidly about their career choices and each other. Rupert also talks about his ice cream van and how he keeps it stocked and goes to neighborhoods giving out free ice cream.

‘I keep my van well stocked. It’s got a proper machine that dispenses Mr Whippy ice cream and I buy my lollies wholesale – 50 for a tenner – so I never run short. I’m not allowed to sell my merchandise. I’d need a licence for that.
‘I tend to avoid July and August, but the rest of the year I’ll drive around the local villages and if I see some kids looking like they’re in need of ice creams, I’ll pull over and dish them out for free. They’ll say, “Ain’t you Ron Weasley?” And I’ll say, “It’s strange, I get asked that a lot.”

Rupert: ‘As much as anything, I like the fact that I can attend my brother’s rally meetings. Now that we’re all grown up and no longer racing against each other, few things give me greater pleasure than seeing him win.’

Rupert also mentions that now that Harry Potter has ended he can sit back and choose his roles more wisely.
